Olympiacos's premiere at this year's Euroleague and Milan Tomic's team is now being tested in the tricky Valencia headquarters.
The Reds did not start the season well since they played in the Cup against the incomplete Panathinaikos, although they were ahead with 7 2 minutes before finishing, they managed to lose the match with 77-76 thanks to Batista's nailing in the last second. heavyweight for Bardjoka after Olympiacos for another OAKA game loses his own game. The Greek coach resigned the next day with his partner Milan Tomic temporarily succeeding him. These days the names of Jorgjevic, Enne and Kolle on the bench of Olympiacos with Djordjevic to reject the proposal and continue only in National Serbia. In the games now Olympiacos easily defeated Apollo Patras for the first game of the championship with 82-56 in the empty Chef for punishment. For the game against Valencia will be out of Dardén and Papapetrou, as well as Princezis who will be out for a month because of a problem in his ankle. So Lodzesky is the only triple that comes from an injury, while in the absence of Pritezis Oly piakos has no game with his back close to the basket after the Petgouei all you do is shoot three-pointers, while Hunter and Dunst are athletic center-but you can not touch the ball more in the game set.
On the other hand, Valencia was the pleasant surprise of the Spanish championship after finishing 2 in the regular time and the playoffs was eliminated in the 5 fight with 3-2 from the subsequent Barcelona. Eurocup won the title by defeating Unice Kazan to 2 finals.
In its roster she has Sato who has passed 2 years from Panathinaikos, and also Dubelius, Ribas, Bikes and Ladzar. Also at the beginning of the season Valencia lost to the Super Cap semi-finals from Real and in the championship lost to the premiere Murcia away from home with 86-75 and 2 in the race to break Sevilla with 96-73. Unique team for Valencia will be the Montenegrin center Dubluvic who has a problem with his shoulder.
2 teams have been knocked 4 times in the past with the score being 3-1 in favor of Olympiacos.
Difficult to predict, but I will bet on the hot seat of Valencia and the problems that Olympiacos has in 3 and 4.
